About Pawsitively Pit Bull Inc. Services
After meeting in Portland in 1998, we began adopting rescued dogs from area shelters and got our first pit bull in 2000. We continued to rescue pit bulls and decided to focus solely on helping this wonderful breed. Traveling to Hawaii in 2003 and visiting with the Maui Humane Society resulted in bringing a pit bull back with them, and helped us to finalize our plans for starting a non-profit pit bull rescue and sanctuary in Portland.
Later in 2003 we officially founded Pawsitively Pit Bull Inc. Services, doing rehabilitation, foster care, outreach, adoptions, training, boarding, and rescue. PPBIS was set up as a 501(c)(3) non-profit dog rescue and sanctuary. Our Board of Directors was elected and networking with local agencies strengthened. We strive to change the negative stereotype of the pit bull and continue to rescue and rehabilitate pit bulls in need.
We only take in hi-needs Pit Bulls, meaning pit bulls with medical issues, have suffered severe abuse, are at a shelter and on the Euthinasia list and court cases. We do not take owners surrenders. If you are looking for a new home for your pit bull we suggest going to www.pbrc.net.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
